Between 1901 and 1909 Sagamore Hill served as the Summer White House to Theodore Roosevelt. Numerous outbuildings were required for the operation of the farm on the property. One of the first buildings that Roosevelt had constructed to maintain the farm was the stable and lodge. This project will focus on the archaeological resources related to these buildings and the Firing Range that Roosevelt built on the property during his tenure there.

White-nose syndrome has decimated bat populations across the Northeast, including populations of the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). Interesting, research to date indicates that coastal areas of Long Island, such as Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, may provide a refuge for this rare species. Biologists are using a variety of techniques to monitoring bat populations at Sagamore Hill and seven species have been documented.

Diane Harris was initially reluctant to pursue a Park Service career. However, she soon found that national parks were "in her blood". Her 26-year career saw her rise from clerk to superintendent at one of our most iconic national monuments.

You've heard of #FatBearWeek...now get ready for #FatBookWeek! In honor of the 10,000+ books in the Longfellow family collection, we called on other literary-minded sites to submit the fattest book in their museum collections for a tournament-style bracket of 10 heavyweight tomes. Check out the bracket, then visit @LONGNPS on Instagram each morning from October 6-12 to vote for your favorite bulky book!

NPS Inventory and Monitoring Networks have been tracking forest health in eastern national parks since 2006. This monitoring information can guide resilient forest management and support parks in adapting to changing conditions through the actions described below.

From coast to coast, the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Division is helping park managers improve the health and function of forest ecosystems. From promoting resilient forests in the Northeast, to conserving whitebark pine in the West, to protecting Hawaiian forest birds from avian malaria, scientific partnerships are helping parks to share information, leverage funding sources, and work together for outcomes that extend beyond what any park could accomplish on its own.

Forests cover tens of thousands of acres in eastern national parks and these critical resources face a range of interacting stressors: over-abundant white-tailed deer populations, invasive plant dominance, novel pests and pathogens, among other threats. The Resilient Forests Initiative will help parks address these issue collectively.

Each park-specific page in the NPS Geodiversity Atlas provides basic information on the significant geologic features and processes occurring in the park.
